A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives special agent is no longer employed at the agency after he was arrested for taking photos in a women's restroom, a federal spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Justin T. Fahy, 27, of Monona, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the incident at Witte Residence Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
An ATF spokeswoman would not say if Fahy had been fired or if he had resigned, citing privacy rules.
Officers were called to the hall after a woman reported that the man slipped his phone under a restroom stall and took photographs of her, according to a news release from UW-Madison police.

Fahy identified himself to police as an ATF agent and told officers the incident was a misunderstanding and that he mistakenly went into the wrong restroom, the release said.
But search warrants to inspect the man's phone and security footage from inside Witte Hall revealed he was in the women’s restroom at least 14 minutes, and that his phone had recently been restored to a backup point from earlier this year, leading investigators to believe he was likely trying to delete evidence.
Fahy was taken to Dane County Jail on tentative charges of attempting to take photos depicting nudity and disorderly conduct, and was formally banned from the UW-Madison campus, according to the release.
